Chalone. Volcanism and tectonic activity define Chalone and the Pinnacles National Park, immediately below which lies the exceptionally situated Boer Vineyard. First planted by Dick Woodward to Cabernet in 1969 and celebrated as the ‘A-Frame’ vineyard, the vines on these steep slopes were grafted several decades ago to several selections of Pinot Noir. It is now owned and farmed by Richard Boer. Chalk from an ancient, uplifted seabed and decomposing granite comprise this highly unusual and prized terroir. There is sufficient maritime influence to moderate daytime temperatures and ensure fruit ripens evenly.

Reviews

“Brilliant garnet. A powerfully scented bouquet evokes ripe red berries, cherry pit and candied flowers. A spicy note builds as the wine opens up. Densely packed black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors take a sweeter turn and become more plush through the mid-palate. Shows gentle grip and spicy lift on a very long, subtly chewy finish that’s framed by dusty, well-knit tannins.”
